Accord LMS Software

I have found AccordLMS to be a high quality product with a team that provides excellent service.

I'm on a team that's developing and launching a massive open online course using this software as the platform.

Pros

It's ease of use in the development and implementation of courses and the courteous and professional service of the team that built it.

Cons

In my time using it to develop and implement a course, I haven't discovered any cons. I'll repost here if I find any.

Quick response time ; Could be better product

From everything I've read and learned, it doesn't seem like there's a perfect LMS out there. Although, I feel like this one if far from perfect - it gets up by. We're able to push out courses/content for learners in a timely manner.

Pros

Whenever I have questions, they are quick to get back with me. User friendly. Does the basics of an LMS.

Cons

Reporting isn't the greatest. Hard to administer the way we would like it to. It seems as though time goes on, we are outgrowing this LMS.

Modern LMS with variety of features

Accords LMS has very intuitive interface and easily accessible menu bar. From there you can navigate wherever you need to be, whether it's training courses or learner groups. The transcript folder stores all the details about past training events. Besied being available on laptops, Accord LMS is also available on cell phones, which is definitely a benefit.

Pros

Navigation, reports, resources, gamification

Good product but it still needs some work

One of the largest issues with LMS systems is their inability to speak well with other systems especially third party RDS systems *Rapid Development Systems* so if you create a quiz via Lectora or Storyline it's hard to get the reports that you need for your organization. Accord here is no different, but what makes them better in this arena is that they do have their own development tools which is a plus. They also work well with organizations in providing customer service and support. Their shortcomings really come from being a relatively new system but otherwise do a good job. It's easy to create job roles and learning paths. They do have gamification and a social media component.

Accord - Nearly there, but not quite

We reviewed this LMS along with four other systems. Accord was very competitive with Cornerstone in many features, but lacked in some very important ways. One of the features we found lacking is the ability to book several classrooms at once in multiple offices and have them act as one event. We do a lot of firm wide instruction and need to be able to book one event in many locations. The people at Accord said they would work on that feature if we would pay for it. That was not acceptable.

Pros

Accord LMS is very easy to navigate. The look and feel is really nice and gives the appearance of a professional system. The reporting tools are good and allow a level of customization. Their sales guy we worked with was very good and fed us all the information we needed in a timely fashion.

Cons

The biggest deal-breaker for us was the inability to book many conference rooms across our firm for one single event. We loved the rest of the product.

Wonderfully Flexible LMS

The Accord LMS system has been a very useful tool in creating a structured learning environment that our users can easily follow. I recommend it highly to anyone who wishes to have their own online school. As with any product, there are some preliminary concepts to learn, and once learnt, it became an easy to use and very flexible product. The account manager assigned to us provided excellent training and has always answered any questions we had. Their Tech Support also responded with answers quickly. This LMS is suited to our needs because we do not need the large amount of licenses some other vendors require as a minimum to get started. It is a very cost effective LMS.

Accord ranks #1 in support, price, and functionality!

My company first began our investigation into various Learning Management Systems a little over a year ago. After an initial introduction to Accord through Capterra, we quickly narrowed down our selections. Accord LMS remained our number one choice until we were ready to finalize the purchase. Though this was a lengthy process on my own company's end (approx. 12 months), our representative Mary Beth was nothing short of amazing as she remained patient, supportive, and enthusiastic. Mary Beth was always on hand to provide updates, answer questions, and consistently connect us to Solutions Engineers to provide insight into features of Accord that best benefited our company. We have been using Accord now for 6 months and have no complaints. Accord ranks #1 in support, price, and functionality in the world of LMS! Many thanks for the continued support!

Pros

Since we are utilizing Accord to connect various independent distributors, Accord's ability to provide Admin capabilities for over 40+ individuals is unmatched. The organization of levels of employees, as well as automatic reports sent to management is easy to understand and extremely effective.

Cons

Thus far, nothing to report

Highly customizable LMS

Pros

The DNS capability that allows you to customize the LMS.

Cons

The LMS has limited data bulk upload capability; however it is permissible for user profiles which is highly helpful.

Accord LMS - a flexible and affordable LMS with exceptional support

Pros

The ability to customize the look and feel of the client interface is great and having Interzoic Media as a partner is a plus. We are a very customer oriented company and to work with a company that feels the same way is such a benefit. We have been very happy with both the product and service and they are always available to help or answer any questions. Super reliable product and support. Our customer base has grown and the Accord LMS scales very nicely. No performance issues and works very well with Dotnetnuke.

nothing really. We are very happy with the product and the vendor. Interzoic releases updates pretty regularly with new features so make sure you upgrade on a regular basis.

Accord LMS - a great LMS solution for Dotnetnuke

We researched more than a few LMS's and the Accord LMS was a perfect blend of features and value for the money. We have been using the Accord LMS for several years and experience with it has been fantastic. Arguably the best Dotnetnuke LMS out there. It simply just works and is very easy to setup and configure. The ability to customize the look and feel of the client interface is great and having Interzoic Media as a partner is a plus.

Exceeded our Expecations

Pros

Great support and value. The platform is flexible and allowed us to start small and expand our offering.

Cons

Great Customer Service!

Our company has been using the Accord LMS for 1 year now. Along the way, Accord Staff Members have been there to help us through the initial set up and troubleshooting stages. We have recently started using it within our whole organization and the end users are giving great feedback. It is user friendly. It allows us to give learners the opportunity to have a visual learning experience instead of just a process document to read over.

Pros

Customer Service
User Friendly environment

Cons

Admin Setup is a bit complicated, but luckily Accord Staff Members are right there to help you

Customer Service is Great!

Our company purchased a license through Accord 1 year ago. It's taken us about that long to get up and running due to all of the conversion of our internal documents. Along the way, Accord members have checked in with us and helped when needed. Whenever we have run into a stopping block, they took little to no time to get back with us and help us continue on in our setup and roll out. Our employees that use the LMS on a regular basis are really enjoying it. It allows them to see visual demonstrations of a process, where as before they could only read a process document.

Pros

Customer Support and User friendly

Cons

Administrative side is not so user friendly

Accord LMS - My first choice

I have been using the Accord LMS for almost a year. I am the administrator of the LMS and charged with adding and maintaining content and learner access. It was very easy to set-up and maintain. Support has been excellent with very fast responses to any question, big or small. I compared several other LMS providers and selected Accord LMS based on functionality, easy of use, support and pricing. My experience with Accord LMS to date has been excellent.

Pros

The application, hosted with Accord LMS, was easy to set-up. On going maintenance is also very simple whether adding or updating content, creating reports or adding or updating learner access. Should I require support, this is always readily available.

Cons

The reporting functionality, while improving, is not as simple as the rest of the interface. Most of the reports focus on learner reporting and I am looking for more reports for the system administrator. Accord LMS support has assisted me in creating the reports I needed.

Great product, great people!!!

Pros

The ease of the software, the willingness of there training team to help and assist as I set up my LMS.

Cons

I wish for only one add on, a drag and drop interface. Everything else is amazing!!!

The only feature I would like is a drag and drop interface.

Accord LMS Review

We have been using Accord LMS for about a year now. I knew nothing about LMS management when I first started. I have found Accord very easy to learn and have especially been impressed with the great customer service I have received. They have been willing to help me out and make sure the program was meeting our needs at every turn. I highly recommend this LMS for anyone starting from scratch.

Pros

Ease of use for our learners. Great customer service.

Cons

So much to learn. Reporting features could be improved.
